Fair Trade Judaica (FTJ)

Fair Trade Judaica promotes fair trade as a Jewish value through educating the Jewish community, and expanding the production, distribution, and sale of fair trade Judaica products. We envision a world in which Jewish consumers recognize fair trade as an expression of core Jewish values, seek out fair trade Judaica products, and use their purchasing power to support thriving communities of artisans around the world.

Royal Blue Challah Cover

Enhance the beauty of your Shabbat table with one of Mayan Hand’s festive Challah covers, at the same time that you participate in Tikkun Olam. These challah covers are woven on the backstrap loom. Selling their products through Fair Trade allows the weavers to earn a livelihood that empowers them, helps them raise their families out of poverty, send their children to school, and continue working within the Mayan culture that they love and respect.

Fair Trade Judaica's website would never have happened without three extraordinary people:Lisa K. Chanoff, whose generous donation made the project possible,Dean MacDonald who captured our essence with his brilliant logo and artistic influence, andAaron Hodge Silver who took our ideas and built a website we can grow into for a long time to come.
